Ghani, McMaster discuss Afghan security

President Ashraf Ghani discussed Afghanistan and regional security, counter terrorism and parliamentary elections with HR McMaster, the Unites States National Security Advisor, the Presidential Palace said in a statement on Saturday.

The two sides also talked about a four-year security plan for Afghanistan, the statement said.

The statement has not given more details about the phone conversation.

McMaster took office as U.S. President Donald Trump's National Security Advisor last month.

One factor of the Afghan conflict is the Afghan government's failure to maintain a balance in its foreign policy. The imbalanced foreign policies of governments have paved the ground for Afghanistan to turn into a battlefield of proxy wars.
